Through planting trees in Houston communities, students learn the benefits of environmental stewardship, including cooler temperatures and cleaner air.Students make plans to increase trees, gardens and green spaces in their communities. They develop methods to promote further benefits of walking and biking, reducing waste and recycling, conserving natural resources, and implementing water recovery and renewable energy systems.
